1K gaming PC

Unless doing multitasking 16GB will be still good for majority of games and that 6 core won't be doing much of multitasking in heavier games soon expecting 8 core as rule.

AFAIK he's also going to be doing some video/image editing too, I think going for 32GB now given the continual price rises on RAM even before Corona is a good idea.

Easy enough for him to pop in a nice 8-12c down the line to balance things out.
 
Okay, thanks so much for your help! you've saved me a lot of time. Ordering now :D

would have got the Aorus card for slightly more . UK RMA and HQ in Milton Keynes .

Personally I'd still take the £350 dual fan model. :p

Guess I'm a cheapskate? lol

Haha it was his review of the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil that sold me on the card tbh. Its to late now unfortunately - I actually ordered.

MB on the thermal paste, its been a while since I've done this.

I forgot to mention I got the Corsair Gaming K63 keyboard. Took me an hour to pick one, so I'm glad you helped me Gray else i'd have given up.

I've realised I didn't get windows 10, my current pc is on windows 7 and I avoided upgrading. I know I can still upgrade my old pc for free but i'll have to see if i can transfer that over somehow.
Also a displayport wire, I'll quickly order one as my hdmi slot will be used my by tv.

Yeah, I'll keep you posted when it comes, cant wait to be up and running. Cheers all.
 
You can download Windows 10 from the MS site and put it on a USB stick, just use your existing key and upgrade when prompted. If that doesn't work put up with the watermark or buy a key, you can find them for a fiver on those pesky auction sites.

You should get a new DP cable with your monitor, I'm 100% sure the PX7 comes with one.

As stated, happy to help bud.

Looking forward to your impressions.

So I built this 2 days ago upon delivery, this is the first time I built a PC on my own, and it took me a while but everything went well first time thankfully. After doing about 40% of it I found a decent video which confirmed I was doing the right things, maybe this will help someone else out.

I really like the PC, It runs very fast and I've managed to ultise the Pixio screen to its full ablity. Looks very nice sitting on my desk and of course the quality is very good. Cant wait to get some new games.

Installing windows 10 was easy, used my product key from windows 7.

Downsides..
The 3600X fan is to sporadic, it runs fast/noisy for like 5 seconds then slow/quiet repeat.
When gaming temps rise to about 60-70, which is okay I guess? But I will invest in a new fan for the processor and also a fan for the top of the case.

Other than that, really good build - thanks all who helped me put it together.

That is ryzen behavior for you, hence I got rid of mine. If you want to get rid of it, then a static voltage may be a good idea, eg overclocking.

Glad to hear you're getting on well with the new hardware!

If the stock cooler is getting on your nerves you can get a decent replacement for £20-45 that should solve the problem, here's some suggestions for you:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £180.79 (includes shipping: £0.00)​

I can personally testify that the fan that comes with the Alpenfohn Brocken 3 is next to silent, I've used a few of them with different coolers. The B-Grade Brocken 3 is a steal to be honest, but hold in mind you might need to buy some thermal paste to go with it.
